@_elena @tagesschau is, uh, not something I'd bet on here.

Well … this might become a long and very sad story.

@_elena @_elena The open-web narrative falls flat: the #Fediverse often turns into an echo chamber with illusory privacy (data is public) and arbitrary moderation on main instances. Meanwhile, platforms like #Bluesky remain superficial w.i.p. Mainstream media just look for usability, scale and clear governance, not digital fiefdoms.

@_elena @tagesschau Let me guess..

Something, something, a lot of money

I found 2 articles by searching:

https://www.tagesschau.de/video/video-1629508.html
And
https://www.tagesschau.de/video/video-1629560.html

Both are done by Paulina Drabinski, which I haven't found on the Fediverse, but surprise, on W social
https://bsky.app/profile/paulinadrabinski.wsocial.eu

So try to involve her via bsky in the conversation

And keep up the good work

@_elena @tagesschau Hi! I was (meant to be) the critical voice in that piece, but most of my criticism didn't make it into the report. I do think that the reporter who wrote the piece actually got the issues with WSocial. I also pointed them to your reporting on that matter.

I did my best to sneak Eurosky and the Fediverse into the interview, but apparently I need better media training …

@_elena @tagesschau Übersetzung ins Deutsche: Übersetzung:

Es sind Schüsse gefallen … auf Deutsch. Denn wenn ein großer Fernsehsender einen zweiminütigen Werbespot für ein winziges, praktisch brachliegendes soziales Netzwerk ausstrahlt, das als trojanisches Pferd für eine verpflichtende Altersverifikation dient, dann ist Schweigen keine Option.

Wenn das, was sie an #WSocial so begeistert, dessen 24.000 Nutzer:innen sind: Nun, #Eurosky hat genauso viele, aber dort ist sehr viel mehr los.

Wann also plant die @tagesschau, über Eurosky zu berichten? Oder, ich wage es kaum zu sagen: über das FEDIVERSE mit seinen Millionen Accounts?

Our biggest challenge may well be how we change the narrative and make sure to reach those outside of our own sphere (not a bubble as we're not blind to the rest of the world). And breaking the network effect, that too.

I deeply appreciate all your work btw, it's fundamental to help bring about change.
